Most Improved Fighter?
There has been speculation that the Junkie Fantasy committee team might be adding an award that already includes Fighter of the Year, Knockout of the Year, and Fight of the Year. This will be the first of its kind so many are encouraged to keep fighting. As Jimmy Valvano would say “Don’t give up, don’t EVER give up”. While it’s not set and stone, we’ll have the answer to this within the next couple of days.
We would like to take this opportunity now to thank ManUp Wear for sponsoring the awards last year and sponsoring most of our events. You can check out their website at WWW.MANUPWEAR.COM.
Seven man team?
While this proposal did not pass last year, rumbling has been that team with five or fewer are starting to disband. While the votes were split last year, the final decision was to keep the format the way they are. While some believe this is a good idea saying “if we have seven people on a team, it could cut down on team that started but only have 4 active members”. Others feel that seven people on a team can cause “one or two people to piggyback their picks off the other people." The question now is do we add one more person to get rid of the teams with less active people or keep the format the same to prevent people from copying picks from the active members?
Junkies, what do you think?

I think 5 man teams are enough to be honest, and another good write up Tai

7 is to many.
When does 8 and 10 come then?
You dont need more then 5 people seeing your picks before the event imho.
Another team GP wont be till 2010 as far as I know.

I agree. Having 6 is almost too many. The more people on a team the less people you are actually able to fight.

Five is fine. We can't have everyone clamoring to join the legendary AoW. Two or more openings would cause riots.

Not after I get done with you Sat.
That will slow the recruitment down!

Oh yeah. Six.
I misread this part of Buffalo's quote and responded without thinking too much about it:
"You dont need more then 5 people seeing your picks before the event imho." Five other than yourself. Durp. My mistake.

Leave the teams as is, I agree.
I believe the intent was to have one team GP each year, so you'd have the '09 team champions, etc. We've already had one this year.
